College career
Elliss was rated a four-star recruit and committed to play college football at Mississippi State.

Elliss played in all six of the Vandals' games during his redshirt junior season, which was shortened and played in the spring of 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. As a redshirt senior, he played in 10 games and finished the season with 46 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, one sack, and one fumble recovery. Following the end of the season, Elliss declared that he would be entering the 2022 NFL Draft.
